Cogenesis of visible and dark matter in a scotogenic model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2026-03-20 v4

Abstract

Within a scotogenic neutrino mass model we explore the cogenesis of matter from the CP violating decay of a heavy Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-odd right handed neutrino that simultaneously populates the visible and a multipartite dark sector. The relic density of a sub-GeV scale freeze-in dark matter is generated by the late time decay of the next-to-lightest dark particle dynamically regulated by an interplay with the thermal scattering processes. We show that this model can simultaneously explain visible matter asymmetry and provide a cosmologically viable sub-GeV dark matter while remaining in consonance with the neutrino parameters and flavour observables.
